A girl’s dark destiny could cause the unraveling of the world in this spellbinding novel from the author of A Creature of Moonlight, which Kirkus Reviews called “cumulatively stunning” in a starred review.

Heed
this warning, mortal: stay far away from the three sister Fates. For if
they come to love you, they might bring about the end of the world…

Chloe
is the youngest. Hers are the fingers that choose the wool, that shape
the thread, that begin it. The sun smiles upon her. Men love her without
knowing who she is. She has lived forever and will live forever more.
She and her sisters have been on their isolated Greek island for
centuries, longer than any mortal can remember. They spin, measure, and
slice the countless golden threads of human life. They are the three
Fates, and they have stayed separate for good reason: it is dangerous
for them to become involved with the humans whose lives they shape.

So
when a beautiful girl named Aglaia shows up on their doorstep, Chloe
tries to make sure her sisters don’t become attached. But in seeking to
protect them, Chloe discovers the dark power of Aglaia’s destiny. As her
path unwinds, the three Fates find themselves pulled inextricably
along—toward mortal pain, and mortal love, and a fate that could unravel
the world.

Why I'm Waiting:

I recently featured this book on one of my Top Ten Tuesdays, but I wanted to highlight it again, because I'm so excited about it. The Fates are my favorite story from mythology, and I pretty much read every book about them. This one looks very good, and I can't wait to get a copy of it.
